As the British troops poured ashore on San Carlos Water, Lieutenant Esteban led his troops out of Port San Carlos and headed for the high ground to the east. He had already contacted his headquarters and advised them of the landings and he had lost contact with the other portion of his command on Fanning Head. As his men dug in near "The Knob," Esteban observed British helicopters to his rear. Thinking that his command had been spotted and he was in danger of being encircled, Esteban ordered his men to open fire. The Sea King that was the target of his fire, was actually carrying mortar bombs and not troops. It immediately dropped its load and tried to flee the scene as a Gazelle gunship came to its support. Meanwhile the troops of 3rd Para tried to close the range.
